A Simple Question for Councilor Flaherty

Wed, 06/27/2012 - 12:25pm

Councilor Flaherty has responded again to the essays we have posted on this website. He has attacked our position as "warped" and has also attacked the value of SWS. We won't bother posting it here because it doesn't address many of our key points. But if you are interested, his post can be found on the Mass Live Forum at http://www.masslive.com/forums/westfield/ post #25392.

We also aren't going to get into a tit-for-tat response with the Councilor because it's not productive and more importantly would turn people off and cause them to tune out of the debate. Besides, we aren't interested in engaging in a battle of the egos, we're interested in results.

So to move discussion forward, we have a simple question for Flaherty so he can demonstrate whether the accusations we've leveled against him are "warped" or not.

Here's our question to you Councilor Flaherty:

"Councilor Flaherty, would you welcome broadening the appeal of the Proposition override vote(s) in November by including funding for services that more of Westfield's citizens would benefit from such as fire, police, public works, parks, building, animal control, etc. in order to improve the odds of the override vote(s) passing?"
